This is a classic old camera recently brought back to life. On paper, and to be fair in hand it's a lightweight (seriously weighs almost nothing) almost disposable toy camera. In practice it's a really good wide angle camera, sharp centrally and with a characterful lens with pleasant vingettes. I don't like how it looks in colour - it reveals it's basic nature a bit too much for me. In black and white it's contrasty lens sings. Example shots on FP4. Things to bear in mind, it actually moans and creaks in the later shots of a 36 roll. 24 is a better bet. Though at £30 now easily replaceable if it does. It is WIDE - keep your fingers on the extreme edge of the camera body. It will see them anywhere on the front. Composing the viewfinder only shows the centre third of what you'll get, keep that in mind when composing. Failings aside it's a very enjoyable camera.
Great camera to carry about with you, pretty much idiot-proof (as I can personally attest). Point, shoot and move on to see what's round the next corner...the world is your lobster! I used Ilford HP5 400 for the sample shots.
Perfect, lightweight camera, point & shoot just like that. Attempted to over expose on a film but did not work so this may not be the camera for over exposure experimenting shots. However it's a lovely camera, definitely for outdoor use to pick up those sunny light tones
I bought this little point and shoot for the hiking trips as I didn't want to carry SLR camera on a hike.
It is super easy to use. You absolutely have to be careful with your fingers being in the shot - I ruined some shots with my finger being close to the lens - it is a wide angle lens.
It doesn't have any settings to adjust - good for quick snaps.
I am happy with it, but only as a beginner obviously, I think it goes without saying that anyone who is starting to get into photography wants to have a bit more substance, so I have since bought myself an Olympus OM10 and am becoming conversant with how to use it.
Having said that, for a casual photographer or just to create some cool photos on a day out, or for a younger person who is interested in learning how photos used to be taken and how precious each one was, it’s brilliant.
